IT is rumored that ex-senator Foulke and
his brother reformers are preparing for an
other raid on the Insane Institute. Mr..
Foulke should have been on hand when
the Senate committee were pulverizing his
brethren of civil service reform-Morton
and Rowland. The latter confessed that
he knew nothing about the charges against
the hospital management, which he hsd
the audacity to sign, and Morton's humili-
ating cross examination was quite as pitt
able as Howland's. Foulke, however, HE'D
himself to Hampton Roads and took refuge
under the friendly guns of Fortress Monroe.
Perhaps Secretary Griffin and Attorney
General Kitchener might be induced to join
the reform procession.

statelier movement. At all events, no Eu-
ropean people claim it or use 1t, except as
a loan from us. 1t is American now, by nat
uralization and adoption, wherever it was
born, and no other air we commonly call
national is. Moreover. it is decidedly and
conspicuously finer air than the British
national anthem. Its movement is grander
and more animated; its melody stronger
and of higher strain. There is no rea-
son that we can see why we should not make
John Brown" replace the plagiarized or
borrowed America" as our national air.
"Rslly Round the Flag is better than
any Of our borrowed music, though it is
not equal to "John Brown" Let some
poet with a soul in him as big as the Wash
ington Monument make us q national
hymn to this national air, and we shall
be unsteady complete nationally. Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe's battle Hymn" is a
fair piece of verse, and full of noble feel
ing. but it hasn't the 'sing' in it that be-
longs to ''soDg of the million" 1t is
good for state and ceremonial occasions,
but it is pitched in too high strain OF SEN
timent for a Fourth of July crowd or a
party procession.

s'WHERE are the American reporters.
Kill them Knock them down"
The above was the cheerful intelligence
conveyed TO the ears of the reporters of the
American press present at the 0'Brien
meeting in Kingston by the rufians who
were trying to kill the gritty Irish editor.
These representatives OF the press seem
to have been among Mr.. O'Brien's best
friends throughout the entire weeks strug
gle. On several occasions, when cobble-
stones and brickbats were falling in show
ers, they stood around and protected him
at the risk of their lives. One or two of
them were very seriously injured.
More brutal, cowardly and bloodthisty
mobs never gathered on the continent
than those which frequently attempted Mr.
0'Brien's life during his Canadian tour.
One OF the reporters of the New York Sun
was among those injured on the occasion
referred to. That paper pays its respects
as follows 10 the cowsrdIy gang: mo
wonder the Kingston bunglers at assassina-
tion wanted to kill the American report
ers The business of these servants of the
press is to give the facts and to tell the
truth. If the press could only be silenced,
If the telling of the truth could only be
punished with murder, II the fury of MODS
could only spend itself upon innocent men
Who publish to the world their indictment
of the shameless patricians who grind the
faces of the poor and make Ireland desert
and poor-house, what help that would
be to the glorious cause of coercion. The
press is only the representative Of an en-
hghtened public opinion and humane civil
ization. II public opinion could be fslsi-
fed, IL civilization could be sent back
to Strongbow's standard, the Canadian
bullies and the English DULLES think they
might have their way. They see their
enemy in the press, and then they let
their bludgeons fall"
